PETER O. WEGO, OF ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA.

BEARING FOR CONVEYER-ROLLERS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 28, 1920.

Application filed October 20, 1919. Serial No. 331.927.

T o all whom it 'muy eminem:

Be it known that I, ln'rna C. Wmo, a ritizen of the United States. residing at St. Paul. in the countv of Ramsey and State of l\'linnesota, have invented new and useful Improvements in Bearings for (lonveyen Rollers, of whioh the 'following is a specification. v

My invention relates to hearings for ronveyer rollers.

Said invention is an improvement upon the gravit Y carrier. described and elaiined in the applieation of Charles ll. Lister. Serial No. 2252881. filed May 6, i918. and allowed Jan. T, 192i).

The objectof my invention is to provide a stud bearing with rigid supports in the side rail of the eonveyer and a stable journal for the roller.

A`further object is to promote efficiency and durability in this class ot hearings.

In the drawings Figure I is a vertical seetion of one of my hearings, and Fig. Il is a. plan of a modified form of stud -lor such a hearing.

In the drawings the numeral 1) indieates a tubular roller, and 1l an angle iron t'orrn ing one of. the parallel supports for a series ot rollers. nly one support and one end of the roller is shown. but it is to he understood that the emistruetion is duplirated at the op posite end `ot' the roller. The sind l2 is threaded at its outer end lil whirh passes through an opening in the angle iron ll. and a lori( nut i4. in eonjunetion with a -shoulder l5 formed on the stud. is adapted to 'lalnp the stud upon the angle iron il. Additional rigidity of this union is seeured hv rotting ont opposite parallel segments lf3 from the shoulder 15 to lit eorresponding Suri'aees in the margin of the opening through the angle iron il. and thereby prevent any turn ing movement ol the stud in the supporting angle. iron. plurality of peripheral groovesl' are formed in the inner end oi' the sind l2 to furnish rareu'ayo i'or a serine of antidrietion halls lo. ln lfig. l two ot' three r:i.e-\va|vsare shown and in the alternate -o1r-truetior of Fig. Il three are shown. to provide *for a longer hearing in rase of eonvevera intended for unusually heavyY work. it heing ohvioua that greater stabilityv and less strain uill result l'rmn supporting the moving parts on several rings of halls in parallel rares. i

lhe rage or hall retainer is formed in tiro parts lil and 2U. the latter of whieh teleseopes within the former and forms the outer hearing surface for the halls` 1H. The outer snr- 'fare of the hall retainer is eyliudrieal in contour. and is adapted to snugly hut revoluhlv lit the interior of a. ivlindrieal eavitv 2i formed in the rap 22 whieh ineloses the lends ol' the roller. The long eylindrieal hearing surl'aee hetween the hall retainer and cavity 2l. in conjunction with the plurality of parallel hall rare-ways. furnishes a stahle support im' the roller il). The eap 22 is also provided with an annular peripheral flange 23 which lits into the end of the tubing orniing the roller. and is fixed therein hv the punehed depressions 2l and the erimpeil end i725 of the tuhiiw.

Having deserihed my invention what I Claim as new and desire to proteet hy Letters Patent is:

l. lnV a hearing for eonveyer rollers. a stud having a threaded outer end. an inner end formed with a shoulder and a pluralityv of peripheral grooves. a series ot' halls in eaeh ol said grooves. a evlindr'eal rage for said halls. a roller eap provided with a eylindriral axial eavity adapted to snugly hut revolulily tit `said vage and means for looking the sind in a support.

2. ln a hearing for eonveyer rollers, a stud having a plurality oi peripheral grooves. a series of lalls in eaeh of `said grooves. a etvlindrieal rage for said halls. a roller rap provided with ar e'vlindrieal axial cavity adapted to snugly hut revoluhly lit said cage and m xaus for locking the stud in the support and said eap in a roller.

Si. ln a hearing foreonveyer rollers. a stud having a threaded outer end. an inner end formed with an annular shoulder. having portions or' its periphery eut away. and a pluralitvY ol peripheral grooves. a support l'ormed with an opening engaging said shoulder, a series of halls in ealh of said grooves. a evlindrieal rage for said halls.- a roller provided ivith a eylindrieal axial cavity for said cage and a looking nut on the outer extremity ot' said stud. l

'l. In a hearing for conveyor rollers, a support formed with oblongr perorations, a,
